Excerpt from Emerson: A Statement of New England Transcendentalism as Expressed in the Philosophy of Its Chief Exponent This thesis was completed just at the time when Emerson's Journals were announced for publication. Thus it happened that the writer had either to print an essay which was antiquated in advance, or wait until the Journals could be read and the book revised in accordance with the "new evidence." The delay of publication - prolonged beyond all expectation - was granted by the Columbia Faculty of Philosophy, and at the same time permission was given to add chapters on Emerson's contribution to ethics, sociology, and esthetics, in order that a certain completeness might be given to the subject. The Journals continued to appear at intervals until 1914. No revision of the original thesis has been made necessary by them, but they have gone far to confirm the attitude which was taken at the start; for the whole purport of this study was to trace the development of Emerson's thought and to find how far the ideas to which he gives a fragmentary and poetic rendering are consistent parts of a larger theory. It has always been known that it was Emerson's custom to make use in his essays and addresses of ideas which he had jotted down in his note-books years before; the publication of these note-books reveals just how and when the idea first came into his mind. But inasmuch as these ideas have received a more perfect expression in the essays and addresses, it has seldom been found necessary or advisable to quote from them; and since there has been little of importance concerning Emerson's philosophy published since 1904, the essay as now set forth stands practically as it originally did through Chapter VII. References to the Journals here and there, as well as to Mr. Goddard's Studies in New England Transcendentalism, Mr. Firkins' Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Professor Woodbridge Riley's American Thought, with some other contributions to the subject made since this essay was first written, have been added without changing more than the immediate context. References to the works of Emerson are to the paging of the Riverside edition, since the thesis was written before the Centenary edition was completed; but the notes of Dr. Edward Waldo Emerson, as well as the additional matter included in the later edition, have been read in connection with the Journals for this revision of the essay.

Excerpt from Emerson: A Statement of New England Transcendentalism as Expressed in the Philosophy of Its Chief Exponent The term New England Transcendentalism is applied, first, to the various phases of idealism which found expression in New England during, roughly, the second quarter of the nineteenth century. But an examination of the attitude of that group of men who are recognized as the New England Transcendentalists soon reveals the fact that they themselves were not primarily concerned with philosophy for its own sake, but imported and modified the thought of Plato, of the Neo Platonists and Mystics, or of Kant and his successors, merely as a basis for their attitude toward religion and conduct; that they thought Of T ranscendentalism not only as a philosophy but as a movement; that however they might differ in theory, they were Transcendentalists by virtue of a common impulse. This spirit of the time, says Emerson in his manifesto in the opening number Of The Dial, is in every form a protest against usage, and a search for principles.1 This is a second meaning Of the term New England Transcendentalism. A third mean Ing, which has been the source of much confusion, may be summed up in the phrase Transcendental nonsense. The Transcendental move ment was attended by a general spirit of unrest and hostility to convention. Whims and absurdities of all sorts were in the air. Bran had its prophets, and the presartorial simplicity of Adam its martyrs, _writes Lowell, in his delightful essay on Thoreau. Everybody had a mission (with a capital M) to attend to everybody else's business. N O brain but had its private maggot, which must have found pitiably short commons sometimes. And in the same spirit Hawthorne, in his American N ote Books, 'speaks ofmargaret Fuller's refractory cow at Brook Farm as a transcendental heifer. The name New England Transcendentalism has been applied to cover all the wild vagaries of the time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson is a classic collection of essays by the great American writer and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson that includes the following titles: Introduction -- The American scholar -- Compensation -- Self-reliance -- Friendship -- Heroism -- Manners -- Gifts -- Nature -- Shakespeare; or, The poet -- Prudence -- Circles -- Notes Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature". Following this work, he gave a speech entitled "The American Scholar" in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's "intellectual Declaration of Independence."Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first and then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays, Essays: First Series (1841) and Essays: Second Series (1844), represent the core of his thinking. They include the well-known essays "Self-Reliance", "The Over-Soul", "Circles", "The Poet", and "Experience." Together with "Nature", these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson's most fertile period.

Nature, by Ralph Waldo Emerson, is a superb nature essay and a philosophical interpretation of nature and how it influences man physically and spiritually. Emerson's writing is redolent with the wonder of the true romantic, but never sinks to the level of maudlin fluff.In the essay Emerson put forth the foundation of transcendentalism, a belief system that espouses a non-traditional appreciation of nature. Transcendentalism suggests that the divine, or God, suffuses nature, and suggests that reality can be understood by studying nature. Emerson's visit to the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris inspired a set of lectures he later delivered in Boston which were then published.Within the essay, Emerson divides nature into four usages: Commodity, Beauty, Language and Discipline. These distinctions define the ways by which humans use nature for their basic needs, their desire for delight, their communication with one another and their understanding of the world.Emerson followed the success of "Nature" with a speech, "The American Scholar", which together with his previous lectures laid the foundation for transcendentalism and his literary career. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882)[5] was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature".
